| ward F. Go1ld, secretary of district assembly,
| K of L., No. 166, residing at No. 81 Elm street.
| was on his way home when he was assaulted by
three men on Noble street, Bates. They
approached him from the rear. knocked him
down, and continued to use him roughly while
going through his pockets His ribs were badly
bruised, his face considerably disfgured, and
one eye was swollen shut yesterday morning.
Gould says that while the men were going
through his pockets one of them stopped low to
get good look at him. and exclaimed: HE is
not the man." The assailants were all strangers
to him.
Last evening. shortly after o'clock, Mrs.
Jenckes. wife of the rector OF st. Paul's Episco-
pal Church. was going home from a shopping
visit down town, and was near the Classical
School building Pennsylvania street, when
two half grown negro bows ran out of an alley
ana grabbed her satchel, containing $15, and
some goods which she had purchased. She tried
to hold on to the satchel, and called Mr.. Ferd
Winter who was short distance ahead of her,
but the boys succeeded in wrestling it from her
hands and escaped before Mr.. Winter could
der her any assistance. 1t is the third time
within two weeks that ladies living in that part
OF the city have been robbed on the street.
TUESDAY night, between 10 and IL o'clock,
Thomas Thompson, colored man living
the City Hospital, was confronted by two negroes

some other articles of small value, after which
they compelled Thompson to stand still until
they got out of sight.

In one instance one.half OF a crop of
oats was sown early in spring, and the
other half nine days later from an un-
avoidable delay. Treated alike the
first half gave nearly double the pro-
duct of the other. A striking illus
tratiou is afforded in the growth of
weeds; dense crop of which just max.
ing its appearance above ground, was
easily destroyed by the passage of the
harrow, which ground them up and
crumbled them with the mellow soil.
If left week Liter, or until they had
reached height of six inches, the
work of destroying them would have
more than tripled, and enough
escaped to have ripened seed for an
abundant crop the next year. Econ

HONEY BEVERAGE

We may also lay honey under tribute
in the production of one Of the most
wholesome beverages in existence; to
supersede tea and coffee on the family
table. We give the formula and pro-
cess, and advise all to try it:
Take three quarts of good, clean,
wheat bran and bake in the oven till
it becomes quite brown. Then add
one quart of liquid buckwheat honey
and stir thoroughly; put it back into
oven to bake still more. stirring it
frequently until it gets dry, granulated,
and very brown-a little scorching will
not hurt it. Draw it the same as cof-
fee, and use with milk and honey, or
milk and sugar, to suit the taste.
This makes perfectly wholesome
and palatable drink, and the sooner it
takes the place of tea in every family,
the sooner the public health will i'm
prove. In the writer's family this
wholesome and really palatable bever-
age has been on his table for years
with the best results; and were ton
of tea and coffee unloaded at the door
gratis, we would say, "no, thank you,''
so far as drinking either is concerned.
The buckwheat honey is preferable to
the clover in making this beverage, for
the double reason of its brown color
and more pungent taste.-American Bee

was held at the Court House, on Monday evening
last. Mr.. James E. Green, as temporary chair
man, called the meeting to ORDER and after stating
its objects, permanent organization was effected
by the election of Rev. Page Milburn, chairman,
and Mr.. S. G. Tomay, secretary. A committee of
five was appointed to prepare an instrument Of
incorporation, ascertain what will be the probable
cost of lot of ground, the amount of capital stock

Discussing Sanitation in the Belt.--The
State Board of Health held meeting in Baltimore
on Tuesday, Dr. Jackson Piper, president, in the
chair. The question of sanitation in the Balti-
more county Belt was discussed, with the result
that it was decided the Board has not the power
under existing laws to deal with the most impor-
tant matters which have been brought to their at
tention by residents of the Belt and others inter-
ested. In accordance with this view resolution
was passed "that the executive committee be re-
quested to consider the matter in all its details
and present report to the Board at the next
quarterly meeting as to what steps are necessary
to secure proper sanitation of the Belt and other
parts of the State"
DIR. Chancellor was asked to have printed circu-
lars addressed to the local health officers of the
State, which read as follows: "In view of the
meeting of the Legislature in January, 1888, it is
the intention of the State Board of Health to in
vite all health officers and sanitary authorities of
this State and others interested in sanitary work
to meet in conference in Baltimore some time dur
ing October next, to consider what additional leg
isation is necessary for the better protection of
the public health, and to formulate action in ref
erence thereto. 1t is hoped that you will take the
matter into consideration, and be prepared to
present your views to the meeting, especially with
reference to the sanitary needs ofyour own county
circular will also be sent calling attention to
the provisions of the act of 1886 relating to the
ganization, powers and duties of local boards OF

will be short and very poor, there being so many

look well, but fear the corn will not receive the

Although the potato bugs and cut-worms gave
our market gardeners much trouble this sea-
son, they can boast of the finest potatoes and
lima beans in the county. Early peas were a

now, are large and abundant. The first lot of

Mr.. Howard Upton has rented the blacksmith
shop at Upper Falls, and is building up good

A number of our citizens held a meeting at

his reason for shooting him.
John Shears, resident of Frankinville, aged
25 years, was drowned in the Little Gunpowder,
near his home. He was subject to fits, and spent
most of the time fishing. He was sitting on a
high rock when one of these spells came on him,
causing him to fall into the stream. His body
was found by his father few hours afterwards.
